< Mazmur 3 >
1 Mazmur Daud, ketika ia lari dari Absalom, anaknya. Ya TUHAN, alangkah banyaknya musuhku, sangat banyak yang menyerang aku!
Adonai, how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who rise up against me.
2 Ada banyak yang berkata bahwa Allah tak mau menolong aku.
Many there are who say of my soul, “There is no yishu'ah ·salvation· for him in God.” (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·
3 Tetapi Engkau, ya TUHAN, adalah perisai yang melindungi aku. Kauberi aku kemenangan, dan Kaubesarkan hatiku.
But you, Adonai, are a shield around me, my kavod ·weighty glory·, and the one who lifts up my head.
4 Aku berseru kepada TUHAN; dari bukit-Nya yang suci Ia menjawab aku.
I cry to Adonai with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·
5 Aku berbaring dan tidur dengan tentram, dan bangun lagi, sebab TUHAN menopang aku.
I laid myself down and slept. I awakened; for Adonai sustains me.
6 Aku tidak takut kepada ribuan lawan yang mengepung aku dari segala jurusan.
I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side.
7 Selamatkanlah aku, ya TUHAN Allahku, hukumlah dan lumpuhkanlah semua lawanku.
Arise, Adonai! Save me, my God! For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.
8 Dari Engkaulah datang pertolongan, ya TUHAN, sudilah memberkati umat-Mu.
Yishu'ah ·Salvation· belongs to Adonai. Your blessing be on your people. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·
